December 20, 20195 yr Both times? My understanding is it came out several years ago, and that this year's version was a remix? Or perhaps the original wasn't a campaign as such?
December 20, 20195 yr Author From what I can gather the song was written in 2015 but didn't garner any interest until the Radio X team discovered it this year. Either way, he's never been Top 100.
December 20, 20195 yr Yeah the original was just a random song released - Chris said it had about 60 views when he discovered it a few months ago.
December 20, 20195 yr Stormzy Shut Up was one that one year. it just so happened to have actual longevity afterwards.
December 20, 20195 yr Author Stormzy Shut Up was one that one year. it just so happened to have actual longevity afterwards. I wasn't sure about that one, I knew there was a campaign for it to beat the X Factor song the week before Christmas but it looks like the campaign continued into Christmas week as well so I'll add that in.
December 20, 20195 yr Omg forgot surfin bird goat so high didnt remember family guy have that big an impact, (although they helped Journey so )
December 21, 20195 yr There was at least one in 2007 as well (Malcolm Middleton's 'We're All Going To Die', #31).
